STANAVFORLANT is composed of between four and nine destroyer or frigate type ships, operating as one unit on a continuous basis. Ships of various nationalities will normally remain with the squadron for a period up to six montlig, They are then relieved by a unit of the game P3I'tiCiP3t6S in I111I1'1e1'OuS NATO eXeI'CiSeS and n2ti0I131 nationality or a vessel from another NATO naval member. tactical operations in European and North American waters throughout the year.

The commodore is aided by a staff of officers who are also provided by participadng countries. Overall com- mand of STANAVFORLANT is exercised by the Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic, from Norfolk, Virginia. The Commander-in-Chief, Eastern Atlantic Area, with head- quarters at Northwood, Englandg controls the force when it operates in European waters. STANAVFORLANT is tasked with achieving four basic ob- jecdves. First, it is to maintain naval effectiveness within the Atlantic Alliance at a high level by providing squadron experience and training on a continuous basis. The force ..........- auru ...,,,..l,..,...,-,W-i is , Secondly, the squadron serves to demonstrate the solidarity and unity of the NATO nations by showing the flags of var- 4 ious member nations in a single, multi-national force. Thirdly, STANAVFORLANT maintains an availability and readiness for immediate deployment to the scene of any possible contigency situa1:ion to reaffirm the solidarity of the NATO Alliance and provide a visible deterrent force. Should mich an occasion arise, the squadron might have to carry out its fourth objective, providing the initial elements y around which a more powerful and versatile NATO naval y force could be formed.
